Fans React To Tyrese Maxey’s 42 Point Outburst As Sixers Win In The Absence Of Joel Embiid

On Friday, the Philadelphia 76ers faced the Houston Rockets in a road game, and they were still dealing with player shortages. Joel Embiid missed his third consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain, Nic Batum was absent for the fifth game in a row with a right hamstring strain, and KJ Martin was out due to illness.

Despite being shorthanded, the Sixers put up a strong fight and secured an impressive 131-127 victory against the Rockets. Tyrese Maxey played exceptionally well, scoring 42 points against the tough Rockets defense.

Here’s what fans have to say,

Tobias Harris contributed 22 points along with three blocks, four steals, and seven rebounds. Kelly Oubre Jr. added 13 points, Paul Reed had seven points and four rebounds, and De’Anthony Melton scored 15 points. Marcus Morris Sr. scored 14 points, with 10 of those coming in the fourth quarter, and Patrick Beverley chipped in with nine points off the bench. It was a noteworthy win for the undermanned Sixers on the road.
